What do you think should be on CIV4 (improvements from CIV3)?

[Darkness]

Dutch!

 

[Ribannah]

The Dutch are definitely my first choice.

Some not yet mentioned here: Minoans, Tiahuanaco, Zimbawe, Mali, Ethiopia, Khmer, Anasazi and, yes, Australia.

 

[Gainy]

I agree with lucidity. Alot of the "Civilisations" mentioned are already either covered by existing ones, or donr really deserve to be in the game.
I think the Dutch, Inca and the Mayans should be added. I dont know enough about any African counties to make an opinion on them though...

Edit: And the Portuguese

 

[Ribannah]

By the way, nice to see the interest in other civilizations rekindled here now that elsewhere a forum page on civilizations has been closed so rudely.

 

[JJP]

Canadians
Italians
Dutch
Thai
Australians
Portuguese
Brazilians
Inca
Nicaraguans
Mexicans
Irish
etc...

 

[jack merchant]

The Dutch, definitely ! Portuguese are also a good choice. Other than that, the Maya, Inca's, Khmer, Ethiopians (gotta have the Rastafari in there ! Bob Marley as a GL ) and Songhai from Western Africa. Possibly also another Slav civ and a Magyar one.
Finally, although it's of course a continuation of the Roman Empire, Byzantium.

NEANDERTHALS

BTW- Ausralians shouldn't be in there, Since they were just a colony of Britian (so is America, but we are the most powerful nation in the world.) and aren't a world power and never were. I'm not bashing Australians, but i think Aborigineas should be there instead.

Firaxis is busy working towards fixing the current expansion with some patches...Then we'll probably see another expansion before civ4 comes out. Not based on any information just my feeling.

 

[lucidity]

werdhertz: However long the Mongol period of dominance, they are and were a civilization.

Whereas the Aborigines were not "civilized" in the traditional sense in that they never settled in cities, and the Neanderthals aren't even humans - at this point it just starts getting silly.

I've got no major problem with an Australian, Brazillain or Canadian civ, but I think that it would be stupid, and I would disable them in my games. That's because I'm a bit of a purist, and feel that they are to a large extent still part of the European civ. The American case is interesting in that they come from so many places and have become a superpower, so I would say their inclusion is warranted - even if I leave them out of my games.

Not quite sure how the Arthurian Heroes or the Vampires constituted a civ, but feel free to explain. Unless you were joking?

 

[superslug]

I'm still trying to figure out how the heck the Celts made it...

 

[kaslks75]

The Celts through much of recorded history have been throughout northern and western mainland Europe. Julius Ceaser even wrote about them (when he was an army general) being in what is now France. The Romans eventually pushed them 'into a corner' in the British Isles.

 

[farting bob]

canada? its like austrailia. its 1 country, never had a empire, ws just a british colony, and who are goin to be the canadian great leaders????
i would say incas, portugeuse and the vampires should be included.
someone mentioned mexicans. they are your modern aztecs spliced with many other cultures.
many of these you name never had an empire, or were part of one. to be included i think they should have had to of had a major influence on the known world at the time, not just now, or had an empire / colonies.

Oh, and you can't forget about the Cherokee.

I think in my history calss (it was a while back) didnt a bunch of the native american groups band together and form the Iroquios Confederacy or someting..some group that had the name Iroquios in it..so they could represent all the N. Americans

 

[Gainy]

Yeah, it says that in the Civelopedia as well
